The Hartford Jazz Society is on the eve of its 61st anniversary and it's an organization that’s been all encompassing in its embrace and sustainment of America’s greatest, artistic contribution, birthed in New Orleans at the turn of the 20th century and now taught and performed throughout the world. Hartford, CT has its own niche in the incubation and promulgation of this creative music. This is a pioneering effort by HJS to document some of the recent exciting musicians and older pioneers who grew musically through their tutelage at the Artists Collective, The Greater Hartford Academy For the Performing Arts, Hall High, the Jackie McLean Institute at the Hartt School of Music and other Connecticut institutions. They are now spreading both here and worldwide their musical joie de vivre and chops.
